MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / March 2008Publisher 2003 Website registration page mandatory entries
When setting up a registration page on a website using Publisher 2003, can I make a requested entry (such as phone number) mandatory so that an individual cannot submit a registration without filling in that area? If so, how do I accomplish this? Sorry, not with the Publisher default form.

Caveat: 1- Of course you must have FrontPage :-) 2- Your host server must have FrontPage Extensions installed & working. 3- Your host server must allow FP's form handler (some don't even if you have FPSE) 4- You must publish to the server via the http:// method NOT FTP. Check with your host you have now and see what kind of forms they do support...and it's likely they already have free scripts (or you can google for one) that will work.

If I upgraded to Publisher 2007, would IT allow me to make required web entries such as a phone number on a registration form before allowing the user to submit their registration? If not, any recommendations of a good program that will allow this? Thanks! > You can do basic validation with FP's forms. That being said...the > filler-outter could put anything in the textbox.

You're jumping 3 steps ahead though...check what your host supports first, then go shopping for a script or see what your host offers.

Or in other words, you can use Publisher with a different form program. DavidF > OK, one LAST question.

They just released a new version that among other things includes validation for form fields (and you can add a CAPTCHA to it to keep bots from spamming you). Mike > OK, one LAST question.
